Characterized by versatile imaging specs, the Canon EOS 80D further clarifies itself using a
pair of robust focusing systems and an intuitive design. Featuring a 24.2MP
APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor, this sleek DSLR is capable of
capturing high-resolution images at up to 7 fps and Full HD 1080p60 video, both
with reduced noise and high sensitivity up to an expanded ISO 25600 for working
in difficult lighting conditions. When working with the optical viewfinder, an
apt 45-point all cross-type AF system affords fast performance in a range of
lighting conditions for tracking moving subjects and working in low light,
while the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system benefits live view shooting and movie
recording by providing a smooth, natural focusing quality akin to the way a
camcorder acquires focus. Touch-to-focus is availed by the large 3.0"
1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD, which also sports a swiveling vari-angle design for
working from high and low angles with ease. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi with
NFC allows you to pair mobile devices with the camera to wirelessly transfer
files for sharing your photos and movies online. More than just a
well-connected DSLR, the 80D is equally matched in imaging versatility due to
its inclusion of multimedia feature-sets for stills shooting and movie
recording.

Included with the camera body is the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
USM lens, which offers a 28.8mm equivalent focal length. One Ultra-Low
Dispersion element and one aspherical element control aberrations and
distortions throughout the zoom range and an Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes
the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. The lens also
features a unique NANO USM autofocus system, which combines ring-type USM and
STM focusing mechanisms to provide the focusing speed and accuracy required by
photographers and the smoothness and quietness required by videographers.

24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 6 Image
Processor

Featuring a 24.2MP
APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor, the 80D is capable of producing
high-resolution imagery with notable clarity and minimal noise, as well as a
native sensitivity range of ISO 100-16000 that can be further expanded to ISO 25600
to support working in low-light situations. The sensor and processor
combination also avails fast performance throughout the camera system,
including the ability to shoot continuously at up to 7 fps or record Full HD
1080p video at 60 fps in the MP4 format.

45-Point All Cross-Type AF and Dual Pixel CMOS
AF Systems

Benefitting stills
shooting with the optical viewfinder, a wide-area 45-point all cross-type
phase-detection autofocus system provides quick and precise focusing in
difficult lighting conditions down to -3 EV. For working with telephoto lenses
fitted with extenders, 27 of the points are capable of focusing down to f/8 and
the center dual cross-type offers increased precision at brighter aperture
values. The cross-type design of the sensors affords greater accuracy in
low-contrast and mixed lighting conditions, and the broad coverage of the 45
sensors is ideal for tracking and maintaining focus on moving subjects. Making
use of the 45-points is a series of four AF area selection modes, including single-point
AF; Zone AF, where you can select from one of nine AF zones; Large Zone AF,
which offers a choice of three selectable zones; and 45-point AF auto
selection, which allows the camera to select a single point automatically.

When recording video or shooting in live view, a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is
employed that offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a similar manner
to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two separate
photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network of
phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image sensor to
reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement. When
working with still imagery, this focusing system works to acquire focus quickly
and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and tracking moving
subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. When shooting
video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing when changing
from different subjects or different distances within the scene, as well as the
ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face Tracking priority.
Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible simply by touching
elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to change focus in an
intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also heightened due to the Dual
Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects and maintain focus when
working within changing or cluttered scenery.

Full HD 1080p Video Recording

In addition to
stills recording, the 80D also supports Full HD 1080p video recording at up to
30 fps in the MOV format with ALL-I compression, or 60 fps in the MP4 format
with IPB compression. Video recording is benefitted by the inclusion of Dual
Pixel CMOS AF and the Movie Servo AF focusing functions, as well as the
touchscreen design of the LCD monitor for intuitive control. Additionally, both
headphone and microphone jacks are incorporated in the body design for advanced
control over audio recording.

Unique to most video recording systems, the 80D also features an HDR Movie mode
that can be used to achieve greater highlight and shadow detail when recording
in high contrast scenarios. This mode captures two HD frames at different
exposures, one normal and one underexposed, in short succession at up to 60 fps
and then composites them during playback at 30 fps to create a movie with a
longer-appearing dynamic range.

Body Design and Built-In Wi-Fi with NFC

·3.0" 1.04m-dot ClearView II touchscreen LCD features a
vari-angle design to permit working from high and low angles and the
touchscreen design facilitates intuitive control over menu navigation and
touch-to-focus operation.

·The pentaprism type Intelligent Viewfinder offers 100% frame
coverage for high compositional accuracy when shooting at eye-level.
Additionally, further aiding shooting with the viewfinder, AF points and mode,
compositional grids, a horizontal electronic level, and other assistive
features can be displayed during use.

·Both photos and movies can be wirelessly shared to smartphones
or tablets, using the Canon Camera Connect app, for instant online sharing or
backed up to the Canon Connect Station CS100 via built-in Wi-Fi with NFC
connectivity. Remote shooting from a linked mobile device is also available,
allowing you to wirelessly configure exposure settings or release the shutter.

·The high-performance shutter mechanism has been tested for up to
100,000 cycles.

EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

Covering wide-angle
to telephoto perspectives, the included EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a
28.8-216mm equivalent lens designed for APS-C-format DSLRs. It features a NANO
USM autofocus system, which combines the beneficial-for-stills Ultrasonic Motor
and video-optimized Stepping Motor to create an all-around focusing system for
multimedia shooters. The lens is also characterized by a four-stop-effective
Optical Image Stabilizer, to minimize the appearance of camera shake, as well
as Dynamic IS that reduces the effects of camera movement during video
recording. One UD element and one aspherical element are featured in the
optical design and the lens is also compatible with the optional PZ-E1 Power
Zoom Adapter for natural, controllable zoom control.

·Time-Lapse Movie combines still photos taken at set intervals
into a silent movie to depict motion that occurs over a long time scale.

·HDR effects are available for stills shooting, and can be
applied using Natural, Art Standard, Art Bold, Art Vivid, and Art Embossed
settings.

·Creative Filters can be applied to creatively refine the look of
imagery, and include Grainy Black and White, Soft Focus, Fisheye Effect, Toy
Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, Art Bold Effect, and Water Painting Effect.
